I don't have any tattoos, but if I wanted to get rid of one, I'm not sure I'd go to some bloke who had a 'machine' in his spare room.
This is the way

These machine's are only the size of a shoe box and are lazers that can be used with very little training the UK price starts at £ 3 K plus VAT salons and skin clinics charge upto £100 to £200 per session plus consultation fee.
An average palm sized tattoo can be upto four sessions.

So this could be a nice little low key run from you're home business !

Kendo. :D

They must have improved because I had one removed at a London clinic, using a ruby laser, when they first came out. Even after 20 sessions there was still some ink remaining. It was expensive, 200 pounds a session, and you need to add in cost of travel and consider the healing time between sessions. Severe blistering can occur.

The good news is there is no permanent damage unlike surgical removal and the cost is soon forgotten. Had I undergone another 5 sessions it would have disappeared completely.
